Raptor-sale-headingIt looks like the latest incoming batch of the Hanwei Forges’ Raptor Series Katana were on the ship before they had a chance to address the Quality control issue with the slightly short Rayskin..

This time, its EVERY model that has been effected – and this time, just like before, this unfortunate incident is your chance to save over $100 off our already heavily discounted price (from $220 to $260 off the MSRP!!).

So if you missed out last time, or even want to grab a matching Wakizashi or Tanto with the same issue with the same discount, well – now is your chance..!

I am pretty sure that this will be the LAST time they will be offered at this discount and the last time this minor defect will surface. So if you want a serious, heavy duty Japanese beater sword with a barely noticable defect – well, you know what to do..!

Here are the 6 swords in the series.

Check them all out and read more at our HOT SPECIALS page here

P.S. We also have fresh stock (literally came in 2 days ago) of the perfect Rayskin versions of the same sword. PLUS some of their most popular medieval swords from the Tinker line, the Claymore and the Rheinlander have been restocked as well – at new, even LOWER prices..!

Never been a better time to grab a bargain, that is for sure..

Hanwei Raptor Blow Out Sale!

A small gap between the rayskin and the wood behind it is an extremely common cosmetic flaw for swords under the $300 price point. The main reason is, real rayskin is VERY expensive – a single skin costs around $70 and is only good for ONE full rayskin wrap or 3-4 panels (which is why you never see full wraps these days. Well, almost never. We do full wraps on Project X, but that is a different story – and a different price point!).

As such, the forges try to get the most out of every little piece of Rayskin they have – but it is not good enough for the Hanwei forges Raptor line..

So when they received a shipment with small gaps showing, they decided to offer them to SBG as factory seconds with a massive discount, and we are passing the discount directly to you!

There is NOTHING wrong with the blades or other fittings, just small gaps in the rayskin peeking out here and there. Something only visible if you look for it (after all, these models have battle wraps on the handle, so the middle section is covered anyway). But the savings are easy to see – $260 off the MSRP and $100 less than our usual already discounted price..!

So for anyone in the market for a serious Japanese style beater sword (and the Raptor series designed by James Williams are among the best of the best beaters out there) here is a rare opportunity to pick one up at a drastically reduced price point..

Two models are available, check them out below.
